What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is contradictory about Bluetooth generation: the title and most feature text say Bluetooth 5.4, while the model is Black-5.3-1 and a compatibility passage also names 5.3. Confirm the version for the selected listing. The 500ft/150m distance is an open-area claim and the listing says obstructions and wireless interference affect range. The explicit package list names an adapter and manual, while nearby wording mentions a mouse and keyboard without confirming they are included.

Aggregate customer ratings lean positive overall, but the distribution also includes a meaningful one-star segment. The ratings alone do not identify specific strengths or explain dissatisfaction, so they offer limited guidance on Bluetooth version, setup, or real-world range.
